Prenatal Screening and Genetic Manipulation: Are We "Playing God"?

There are many questions surrounding the topics of prenatal screening and genetic manipulation. Many of the processes have not even been explored enough to determine the extent of what is possible.

There is not much information out there yet on prenatal screening and genetic manipulation, but in a few years, you will be sure to hear about it all over the place. Maybe you will meet someone whose genes have been genetically manipulated.
